Siege of Xiwei

The Siege of Xiwei occurred in 1591 between the forces of the Wanli Emperor and the garrison of Xiwei.

Siege
Xiwei, positioned near the west border of the Ming Empire, was a vital stronghold for maintaining the empire's western territories. Tragically, when the Emperor believed the castle was hiding the Hero's Sword from him, he dispatched an army to seize the castle. Ultimately, the citadel was destroyed. Sadly, the army failed to find the sword in the rubble of the stronghold.
